However, in recent years in Russia and Europe, resistant microorganisms have become more often found in patients with community-acquired urinary tract infections. In this review, we present data from two recent large Russian studies on antibiotic resistance of community-acquired strains of uropathogens and a microbiological study carried out in Switzerland to study the antimicrobial activity of furazidin, soluble furazidin, nitrofurantoin and ciprofloxacin.

Currently, it can be convincingly stated that there is no association between water hardness and the occurrence of urolithiasis. The hardness of drinking water is not a major factor contributing to the urinary stone disease, and this situation is confirmed by many domestic and foreign studies. Understanding the importance of the various electrolytes contained in water is critical to providing patients with an effective non-drug solution for the prevention of recurrent urolithiasis.
